                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.R. 3935 includes:
    --Clause 10 of rule XXI, which prohibits consideration of a 
measure if it has the net effect of increasing mandatory 
spending over the five-year or ten-year period.
    --Section 303(a) of the Congressional Budget Act, which 
prohibits consideration of legislation, as reported, providing 
new budget authority, change in revenues, change in public 
debt, new entitlement authority or new credit authority for a 
fiscal year until the budget resolution for that year has been 
agreed to.
    The waiver of all points of order against provisions in 
H.R. 3935, as amended, includes:
    --Clause 4 of rule XXI, which prohibits reporting a bill 
carrying an appropriation from a committee not having 
jurisdiction to report an appropriation.

SEC. __. VOLUNTEER PILOT SUPPORT ACT.

  (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
on and after the date of enactment of this section, the

                organization notifies each passenger that the 
                flight is for charitable purposes and is not 
                subject to the same safety requirements as a 
                flight operated by an air carrier or a 
                commercial operator certified by the 
                Administrator (as described in paragraph

        cost for a covered flight and a volunteer pilot 
        organization that arranges a covered flight are

          (3) A volunteer pilot receiving a covered operational 
        cost for a covered flight--

                Code, and such title 14); and
                  (B) does not constitute a flight operation

        Federal Regulations.

        training requirements under part 135 of such title 14

SEC. 802. REINSTATEMENT OF PRE-PANDEMIC TELEWORK POLICIES, PRACTICES, 
                    AND LEVELS FOR EXECUTIVE AGENCIES.

  (a) In General.--Not later than 30 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, the Administrator of the Federal 
Aviation Administration shall reinstate and apply the telework 
policies, practices, and levels of the agency as in effect on 
December 31, 2019, and may not expand any such policy, 
practices, or levels until the date on which the Administration 
plan is submitted to Congress with a certification by the 
Director of the Office of Personnel Management under subsection 
(b).
  (b) Study, Plan, and Certification Regarding Executive Agency 
Telework Policies, Practices, and Levels for Executive 
Agencies.--Not later than 6 months after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Administrator, in consultation with the 
Director, shall submit to Congress--
          (1) a study on the impacts on the agency and its 
        mission of expanding telework by its employees during 
        the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic that commenced in 2019, 
        including an analysis of--
                  (A) any adverse impacts of that expansion on 
                the agency's performance of its mission, 
                including the performance of customer service 
                by the agency;
                  (B) any costs to the agency during that 
                expansion attributable to--
                          (i) owning, leasing, or maintaining 
                        under-utilized real property; or
                          (ii) paying higher rates of locality 
                        pay to teleworking employees as a 
                        result of incorrectly classifying such 
                        employees as teleworkers rather than 
                        remote workers;
                  (C) any degree to which the agency failed 
                during that expansion to provide teleworking 
                employees with secure network capacity, 
                communications tools, necessary and secure 
                access to appropriate agency data assets and 
                Federal records, and equipment sufficient to 
                enable each such employee to be fully 
                productive;
                  (D) any degree to which that expansion 
                facilitated dispersal of the agency workforce 
                around the Nation; and
                  (E) any other impacts of that expansion that 
                the agency or the Director considers 
                appropriate;
          (2) the Administration plan to expand telework 
        policies, practices, or levels beyond those in place as 
        a result of subsection (a); and
          (3) a certification by the Director that such plan 
        will--
                  (A) have a substantial positive effect on--
                          (i) the performance of the agency's 
                        mission, including the performance of 
                        customer service;
                          (ii) increasing the level of 
                        dispersal of agency personnel 
                        throughout the Nation; and
                          (iii) the reversal of any adverse 
                        impact set forth pursuant to paragraph 
                        (1)(D);
                  (B) substantially lower the agency's costs of 
                owning, leasing, or maintaining real property;
                  (C) substantially lower the agency's costs 
                attributable to paying locality pay to agency 
                personnel working from locations outside the 
                pay locality of their position's official 
                worksite; and
                  (D) ensure that teleworking employees will be 
                provided with secure network capacity, 
                communications tools, necessary and secure 
                access to appropriate agency data assets and 
                Federal records, and equipment sufficient to 
                enable each such employee to be fully 
                productive, without substantially increasing 
                the agency's overall costs for secure network 
                capacity, communications tools, and equipment.
          (4) Limitation.--
                  (A) In general.--The Administrator may not 
                implement the plan submitted under paragraph 
                (2) unless a certification by the Director was 
                issued under paragraph (3).
                  (B) Subsequent plans.--In the event an 
                initial agency plan submitted under paragraph 
                (2) fails to receive such certification, the 
                agency may submit to the Director subsequent 
                plans until such certification is received, and 
                submit such plan and certification to Congress.
  (c) Definitions.--In this section--
